and platforms,
solved the current business problems for these enterprises,
and mainly fits the development pain points of enterprises,
I hope my answers will be helpful to you, Hope to adopt..
In the traditional supply chain finance, financing difficulty, high financing cost and cumbersome financing process have always been one of the bottlenecks restricting small and medium-sized enterprises to become bigger and stronger. Banks rely on the ability of core enterprises to control goods and regulate sales. For the sake of risk control, banks are only willing to provide factoring services to upstream suppliers (limited to first tier suppliers) with direct accounts payable obligations of core enterprises, or provide prepayment or inventory financing to their downstream distributors (first tier suppliers). As a result, the demand of secondary and tertiary suppliers / distributors with huge financing demand can not be met, the business volume of supply chain finance is limited, and the small and medium-sized enterprises can not get timely financing, which will easily lead to proct quality problems and damage the whole supply chain system
to solve these problems, we can make use of the characteristics of decentralized, tamper proof and distributed ledger of blockchain technology to build a blockchain supply chain financial platform
The core enterprise issues a / R certificate to the distributor. After the distributor signs the receipt, it indicates that it has signed the purchase and sales contract and the core enterprise delivers the goods Because of the shortage of funds, distributors need to borrow money from finance3. After the financial institutions have approved, the amount of loans will be sent to the core enterprises
The distributor will repay the loan and interest after selling the goodsMoody's, the world's famous bond rating agency, has given 127 blockchain cases, from points to transaction clearing, from document storage to supply chain management, from cross-border payment to supply chain finance, and various applications emerge in endlessly
among so many applications, supply chain finance has attracted much attention, and its commercialization has made rapid progress
this is because, first of all, the supply chain finance scene has a trillion level market scale, and the ceiling is high enough. Secondly, this scene naturally needs multi-party cooperation, but there is no traditional centralized institution in governance, and it needs to use blockchain to build trust. At the same time, technically, this scene does not need high concurrency, and the current blockchain technology can meet it
1. Supply chain finance is a trillion level market
supply chain finance refers to the comprehensive financial procts and services provided to the upstream and downstream enterprises in the supply chain by taking the core enterprises and their related upstream and downstream enterprises as a whole, relying on the core enterprises, taking real trade as the premise, and using the method of self compensating trade financing
according to the different financing collateral, financial institutions divide the supply chain finance into accounts receivable, prepayment and inventory financing, among which the scale of accounts receivable is particularly large< According to the data from the National Bureau of statistics, at the end of 2016, the accounts receivable of China's Instrial Enterprises above designated size were 12.6 trillion yuan, an increase of 10% over the same period of last year, which generated a huge financing demand for enterprises. Compared with the huge accounts receivable, China's annual commercial factoring volume was only about 200 billion yuan in 2015. It can be seen that there is still a large number of supply chain demand has not been met, so the development space of supply chain finance instry is huge
2. How to solve the pain point of supply chain finance with blockchain
pain point 1: the financing of small and medium-sized enterprises in the supply chain is difficult and the cost is high
because banks rely on the ability to control goods and regulate sales of core enterprises, for the sake of risk control, banks are only willing to provide factoring services to upstream suppliers (limited to primary suppliers) with direct accounts payable obligations of core enterprises, Or provide advance payment or inventory financing to its downstream distributors (primary suppliers)
as a result, the demand of secondary and tertiary suppliers / distributors with huge financing demand can not be met, the business volume of supply chain finance is limited, and SMEs can not get timely financing, which will easily lead to proct quality problems and damage the whole supply chain system
blockchain solution:
we issue and run a kind of digital bill on the blockchain, which can be split and transferred freely in the case of transparency and multi-party witness
this model is equivalent to making the credit in the whole business system conctive and traceable, providing financing opportunities for a large number of SMEs that could not have been financed, greatly improving the efficiency and flexibility of bill circulation, and recing the capital cost of SMEs
according to statistics, in the past, traditional supply chain finance companies could only provide financing services for about 15% of suppliers (small and medium-sized enterprises) in the supply chain, while after adopting blockchain technology, 85% of suppliers could enjoy financing convenience
pain point 2: as the main financing tool of supply chain finance, the use of commercial bills and bank bills at this stage is limited, and the transfer is difficult
the use of commercial bills is subject to the reputation of enterprises, and it is difficult to control the arrival time of bank bill discount. At the same time, if we want to transfer these bonds, the difficulty is not small
because in the actual financial operation, banks are very concerned about the legal effect of "Notice of transfer" of accounts receivable claims. If the core enterprise cannot sign back, banks will not be willing to extend credit. It is understood that the bank is very cautious about the legal effect of signing the "Notice of assignment" of creditor's rights, and even requires the legal representative of the core enterprise to go to the bank to sign it face to face. Obviously, this way of operation is extremely difficult
blockchain solution:
an alliance chain can be built between banks and core enterprises, which can be used by all member enterprises in the supply chain. By using the characteristics of multi-party signature and tamper proof of blockchain, the transfer of creditor's rights can get multi-party consensus and rece the difficulty of operation
of course, the system design should be able to achieve the legal notice effect of bond transfer. At the same time, the bank can trace the transactions of each node and draw a visible transaction flow chart
pain point 3: it is difficult for the supply chain financial platform / core enterprise system to prove its innocence, resulting in high risk control cost of the capital side
in the current supply chain financial business, banks or other capital sides are concerned about the authenticity of the transaction information itself in addition to the repayment ability and willingness of the enterprise, and the transaction information is recorded by the ERP system of the core enterprise
although ERP tampering is difficult, it is not absolutely credible. Banks are still worried that core enterprises and suppliers / dealers collude to modify information, so they need to invest manpower and material resources to verify the authenticity of the transaction, which increases the additional cost of risk control
blockchain solution:
as a "trusted machine", blockchain has the characteristics of traceability, consensus and decentralization, and the data on the blockchain has a time stamp, so even if the data of a node is modified, it can not cover the sky. Therefore, blockchain can provide an absolutely trusted environment and rece the cost of risk control on the capital side, Solve the bank's doubts about being tampered with information
3. How should blockchain companies cut into supply chain finance
in terms of market choice, we believe that blockchain start-ups should choose the segments with high enough ceiling, such as household appliances, automobile, retail, clothing, pharmaceutical instry, etc. On the one hand, these instries have a broad market, on the other hand, their supply chain management infrastructure is relatively perfect, and the early cost of block chain is relatively small
we believe that there are two modes for blockchain companies to enter supply chain finance
the first is to directly cooperate with core enterprises / platforms to provide them with the underlying solutions of blockchain. After accumulating enough data, they can provide financial services to the investors by building alliance chain Alliance chain mode)
in view of the fact that the blockchain itself can not solve the problem of risk control, enterprise level risk control still needs to focus on strong core enterprises at the present stage. At the same time, obtaining the support of core enterprises can also effectively solve the problem of customer acquisition, because a large core enterprise generally has thousands of various suppliers
at present, domestic blockchain companies start from core enterprises, including Bubi and Wanglu technology. Bubi has launched an alliance chain "Bunuo" for supply chain finance, linking banks, core enterprises and factoring companies. Bunuo is based in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, radiating southeast business, and digging deep into the field of supply chain finance, Previously, it signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Yigang
the second mode is to provide supply chain management services, such as traceability, tracking, visualization, etc., to integrate information flow, logistics and capital flow, and then engage in financial services Private chain mode)
this mode is equivalent to building an application scenario with blockchain. Just like Alipay, if Ma Yun did Alipay directly, it would be difficult to do so because there was no application scenario, so Taobao first served the real economy. With Taobao, Alipay emerged as a centralization trust scenario and grafted other applications on Alipay before accomplishments.
at present, among the domestic blockchain companies, bitse and food premium are the ones that adopt the supply chain service mode
for example, vechain provides a method of anti-counterfeiting and traceability, by implanting an NFC chip into each commodity, registering the commodity on the blockchain, so that it has a digital identity, and then recording all the information of the digital identity through the account book maintained jointly, so as to achieve the verification effect. At present, vechain procts have been connected with more than 10 instry benchmark customers, and millions of IDS are running on the chain
4. Build a supply chain financial exchange in three steps
from the perspective of implementation path, the application of blockchain in the field of supply chain finance can be realized in three steps
as a prerequisite, we need to build a blockchain + supply chain finance alliance, whose participants include supply chain finance platform, core enterprises, professional financial intermediaries, financiers, factoring institutions, etc
each participant needs to undertake corresponding obligations. For example, the platform is responsible for providing basic services such as supply chain information and customer information, while the core enterprise understands the instry situation, has control over the enterprises in the supply chain, and is responsible for risk control
professional financial intermediaries can integrate and analyze the platform information, and provide customized supply chain financial procts, such as personalized blockchain electronic bills. The fund side includes banks, Internet financial institutions and other customers who are responsible for docking the corresponding risk preference
after the establishment of alliance chain, we can start the three-step strategy
the first step is to put the data in the supply chain alliance on the chain, use the characteristics of blockchain to make it tamperable, and provide services such as data authentication and traceability
the second step is asset digitization, which turns warehouse receipts, contracts, and blockchain bills that can represent financing needs into digital assets, which are unique, tamper proof, and non reprocible
the third step is the transaction of digital assets. The supply chain financial platform will be transformed into a financial asset exchange, which will transform the non-standard enterprise loan demand into standardized financial procts for token, docking investment and financing demand, and concting value trading
finally, blockchain technology will effectively enhance the liquidity of supply chain financial assets, mobilize new financing tools and risk control system, help cover the long tail market of SME financing, and promote supply chain finance as a service.
Supply chain finance is a professional field of commercial bank credit business (bank level), and also a financing channel for enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (enterprise level)
refers to that the bank provides financing and other settlement and financial management services to customers (core enterprises), and at the same time provides the convenience of timely collection of loans to the suppliers of these customers, or provides prepayment and inventory financing services to its distributors In short, it is a financing mode in which banks connect core enterprises with upstream and downstream enterprises and provide flexible financial procts and services.)
The financing modes of supply chain finance are as follows:1
2. Instry information portal mode
3. Software company model 4. Logistics company mode5. Traditional leading enterprise mode
extended information:
benefits of supply chain finance
1. New financing channels for enterprises
supply chain Finance provides solutions to the concept and technical bottleneck of financing for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the credit market for small and medium-sized enterprises is no longer out of reach
supply chain finance has come into the sight of financial executives of many large enterprises. For them, as a new financing channel, supply chain finance not only helps to make up for the traditional liquidity loan line compressed by banks, but also introces financing convenience through upstream and downstream enterprises, and their liquidity demand level continues to decline
e to the intensified competition in the instrial chain and the strength of the core enterprises, credit sales account for a considerable proportion in the supply chain settlement. The sale on credit has become the most extensive payment terms for enterprises. The existence of a large number of accounts receivable caused by the sale on credit, on the one hand, makes small and medium-sized enterprises have to face the risk of lack of liquidity, and the enterprise capital chain is obviously tense
on the other hand, as the potential capital flow of enterprises, the problems of information management, risk management and utilization of accounts receivable are becoming more and more important for enterprises
in the new situation, revitalizing enterprise accounts receivable has become an important way to solve the financing problems of small and medium-sized enterprises in the supply chain. Some commercial banks have made fruitful innovations in this field. The newly launched accounts receivable and accounts payable management system and online domestic factoring system of China Merchants Bank are the most concerned innovations
According to the proct director of the cash management department of the head office of China Merchants Bank, the system can provide comprehensive, transparent and efficient electronic accounts receivable management services and domestic factoring solutions for suppliers and buyers in supply chain transactions, greatly simplifying the complex operation process faced by traditional factoring operations, In particular, it is helpful to optimize the confirmation of creditor's rights transfer when the buyer and the seller are located in two places, and help the enterprise to obtain urgently needed funds quickly
2. The new channel of bank open source
supply chain finance provides a new channel to cut in and stabilize high-end customers. Through a package of solutions for members of the supply chain system, core enterprises are "bound" to the banks that provide services
the main reason why supply chain finance attracts international banks is that supply chain finance is more profitable than traditional business and provides more valuable opportunities to strengthen customer relationship. In the context of the financial crisis, the above reasons are more sufficient
the potential market of supply chain finance is huge. According to UPS's estimation, the stock of accounts receivable in the global market is about US $13000 billion, while the market potential of accounts payable discount and asset-backed loans (including inventory financing) is US $100 billion and US $340 billion respectively
people from China Merchants Bank said that under the mode of service and risk consideration of supply chain finance, as banks pay more attention to the trade risk of the whole supply chain, the evaluation of the overall trade will bring more small and medium-sized enterprises into the service scope of banks
even if a single enterprise fails to meet some risk control standards of the bank, as long as the business between the enterprise and the core enterprise is stable, the bank can not only conct independent risk assessment on the financial situation of the enterprise, but also credit the business and facilitate the realization of the whole transaction
The economic and social benefits are significant. Equally important, the economic and social benefits of supply chain finance are very prominent. With the innovation of "group buying" development mode and risk control means, the income cost ratio of SME financing can be improved, and the scale economy is obviousaccording to statistics, through the improvement of collection methods, inventory revitalization and deferred payment under the cooperation of supply chain financial solutions, the largest 1000 enterprises in the United States reced their liquidity demand by $72 billion in 2005
similarly, in 2007, the largest 1000 listed companies in Europe recovered 46 billion euros from accounts receivable, accounts payable and inventory
4. Supply chain finance realizes the integration of multiple flows
